A news story that appeared on March 18, 2003, the day before the Iraq invasion began.

“As the Bush administration prepares to attack Iraq this week it is doing so on the basis of a number of allegations against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein that have been challenged—and in some cases disproved—by the United Nations, European governments and even U.S. intelligence reports.” “Bush Clings to Dubious Allegations About Iraq.” Under what definition of news is a president leading a nation to war on the basis of “dubious allegations” not front-page material? This story, by Walter Pincus and Dana Milbank was hidden away on page A13 of the Washington Post.
